A Picturesque Riverfront Town
 

Welcome to Dobbs Ferry

About the area

Named after the ferry service that carried residents across the Hudson River during the late 1800s, this bustling Westchester river town sprouted as an encampment during the Revolutionary War. Just over 11,000 people live in the 2.4-square-mile village. Dobbs Ferry beckons buyers who crave a more laidback lifestyle just outside New York City. Residents from all walks of life enjoy the village’s lush parks, tree-lined trails, and delectable dining. The walkable village’s two main drags are lined with mom-and-pop shops and family-run restaurants. You will also find a large chain drugstore and supermarket, and—a few minutes’ drive away—a newly constructed shopping center with national fast-casual chain restaurants and an upscale iPic cinema
